SANTA CLARA, CA—APRIL 20, 2005—NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), a worldwide leader in graphics and digital media processors, today announced that it has shipped more than 750,000 NVIDIA nForce™4 SLI media and communication processors (MCPs) for the AMD64 market in the past five months.

NVIDIA SLI technology has effectively created a new category in the enthusiast PC space. Building on the momentum, NVIDIA has:

Launched SLIzone.com, a Web site dedicated to the SLI community

Expanded the SLI technology certification program for partners

“NVIDIA SLI is a revolutionary innovation that has completely redefined our business when targeting the extreme gamers,” said Ravi Sood, CEO of VoodooPC (www.voodoopc.com), whose Rage SLI PC recently was awarded the prestigious Computer Gaming World Ultimate Gaming Machine Award. “This means when building the ultimate PC, we first start with an NVIDIA nForce4 SLI MCP, and then pair it with two high-end NVIDIA GeForce™ 6 graphics chips. The results are unmatched 3D performance, virtually untouched by any other configuration.”

SLIzone.comTo support the growing number of users embracing SLI technology, NVIDIA has launched a new Web site dedicated to SLI technology and its users. Complementing the popular NVIDIA nZone Web site (www.nzone.com), the new SLIzone Web site (www.SLIzone.com) provides information on SLI technology including news, system builder information, tutorials, reviews, certifications, contests, and much more.

“SLI is a ‘must-have’ feature for PC enthusiasts. We encourage them to check out SLIzone, which contains information on where to buy – or how to build – a mind-blowing SLI PC,” added Ujesh Desai, general manger of desktop products at NVIDIA.

Certification ProgramIn addition, NVIDIA continues to bring stability, reliability, and support to this new platform through the NVIDIA SLI certification program.
